I heart Aussies

Yep- the pic is from the 2003 WC when the Aussies beat Indians.. That should tell you the depth of my loyalty for this team.

This World Cup has been a long, gruelling schedule. A series that seems to have dragged on and on.. but it was all worth it in the end. The Australian team showed why they are the best once again.
They beat the Lankans- by 53 runs!! Three Time World Champions...
And all my anxious, lip biting , nail chewing worries of this being another 1996 cup..were for naught. The Aussies came and held the upper hand in this rain delayed game. I will leave it to someone else to rant about the whole rules and ICC off it's rockers thing... they should not have been playing in that light..ARGHHHH!!

But for now, let me cheer the winners - outstanding performance through out the world cup.. they were the best team this time around, no doubt about it.
Hat's off to Gilchrist. What a form.. 149 off 104 balls.. just amazing to watch.
Farewell to my man, McGrath. We, the fans, are sure gonna miss a bowler extraordinaire.

Now, let me go and drink some good Australian beer (No, not Fosters.. UGH!!) and irritate the heck out of those who really did not want them to win, and amazingly there are quite a few of them ..

Say it loud..
Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi oi oi!
Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi oi oi!
Aussie! Oi! Aussie! Oi!
Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi oi oi!

It would have been better not to have the over-rate reduction drama, but the win was well deserved, no doubt.

I am really happy for Gilchrist. I don't care for certain members of the Oz team, but Gilchrist is the dude. His clobbering was simply awesome.

@Madhuli - I wish I was back home. I would have been locked up in the back room like the last time.. heehee. I still texted all abt how my Aussies rule :P

@QSG- Sigh. They rule. I will try and convert you to the dark side.

@Neihal- Welcome to the other world.. where you team is competent and delivers.

@Bongo - I agree. The match should have been played today, weather permitting. The whole thing about letting them play the last 6 overs in essesntially non- visible conds (to me atleast)was a joke.. but I will leave better ppl than me to rant abt it..
I am still euphoric about my Aussies winning..
*Maniacal laughter still echoes*
